Peter Andre: 'I thought about suicide'

Peter Andre has revealed that he used to have crippling panic attacks to the point that he considering ending his life.

The singer, who divorced glamour model Katie Price last year, said that they got so bad that he thought he would die.

Andre told OK magazine: "I woke up at 3am and I felt a hammering in my head. I started panicking and hyperventilating, my hands were sweating and I thought my heart was going to pop out of my body.

"You think you're having a heart attack. No matter how many times you've had it, every time you think, this is it, I'm going to die.

"Did I think about ending my life? You can have thoughts like that and I'm not going to lie, there were times when it was so bad that I thought, 'Am I better off?' But you have to look at what's around you. My family were my entire life and... that's what stopped me."

Andre, who last had an attack following his break-up from Price, ended up in hospital after suffering a breakdown ten years ago.
